Okay. SO! I have to cast a vote between you two, Matt O and Jen.
My views on both of you wavered a bit as you answered everyone's jury questions.
Matt O, when you first started responding to these questions, you took credit for too much, and acted like this whole game revolved around you. Hypocrisy showed too. I got a bad initial feel from you. But you came to control your ego as the jury questioning continued.
Jen, you waited to the last minute to answer your jury questions. Also, your answers weren't of the same quality as Matt O's. I think you expected us to be bitter towards Matt O for screwing most of us over, and that's why you took him to f2, but most people simply respected his gameplay.
Myself, I love Matt O's gameplay. He managed to pull through so much in this game. He had a target on his back practically the entire time, and got here anyway. He allied with Tyler, whom he might have noticed made deals with other people, so that Tyler often got more blame than he did, and Matt O got off with a lot more. That's great for him. He was just everyone's friend, everyone's partner, etc. He put so much effort into this game, it's crazy. He never took no for an answer. Anyone who threatened his power found themselves booted immediately. He was just always online talking to everyone, bonding with everyone, making everyone feel comfortable, he had almost everyone in this game by the balls at some point. Jen never ever got that kind of control, didn't overcome as much as he did, and didn't bond with nearly as many people as Matt O did. So Matt O is probably the more deserving player.
HOWEVER
He had to screw me over in the process. And he wasn't nice about it, to say the least.
Jen, on the other hand, never made any binding deals with me. So how can I really blame her? I've given her 3 votes in this game... will this be the 4th?
My vote goes to........................................
My vote goes for Matt O.
Matt O - You were the best player of this game. Period. I hope you walk away with the win, because you are ABSOLUTELY the All-Star in my eyes. Without a doubt. You played a hell of a game.
Don't get me wrong, I respect Jen's gameplay too. Jen, you did exactly what you had to do to get to the end - awesome job.
But this vote is mostly based on 2 things:
1) Effort - I think Matt O put a HUGE amount of effort into winning. He really really worked his ass off.
2) Strategy - Matt, your strategy worked AMAZINGLY for you. You really had everything going for you in this game after merge.
Great performance, Matt. I hope we can keep talking after this.
